A mission started a container inspection suspects on Wednesday August 9, 2023 at the request of this company.
A video has been released online. A frightening piece of information, which has gone viral on digital social networks, has caught the attention of consumers in recent days. “Congelcam imports rotten fish”. To illustrate, the video in question shows the interior of a ship that has loaded reefer containers. A voice screams 57 containers belonging to Congelcam give off foul odors. To end these unfounded allegationsCongelcam requested from the Ministry of Commerce, an inspection mission of the 57 suspected containers, 53 of which actually belong to this Cameroonian company.
According to Joseph Flavien Kankeu, communication manager at Congelcam, “it was on August 2, 2023 that the boat docked with our 54 containers out of the 57 declared by the Rtc as having pestilential odors. I can reassure you that before shipping to Lomé in Togo where these containers have stayed, everything is done to ensure good quality. Once arrived at the port of Douala, the removal was done under hoist, ie directly after payment and inspection of use. More seriously, of the 53 containers, the temperature curves indicate that 52 are of good quality and only one is declared doubtful”. Figures that will be consolidated or not at the end of this inspection mission.
Conspiracy
Returned to Sotranav, a warehouse where the containers of I will freeze, the Reporter of the Messager notes the presence of the agents of the public authorities, chasubles of lime green color flanked with the body. The paperwork in the hands. The gaze laid attentively on the open containers one after the other for verification. Among these public officials, officials from the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries (Minepia), the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of the Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development (Minepded ), employees of the General Surveillance Company, Congelcam, the Standards Agency (Anor) and elements of the police, the gendarmerie to ensure that the inspection mission goes off without a hitch.
For Joseph Flavien Kankeu “the plot is set up to deal blows to our company. This is indeed a case that illustrates the cabal orchestrated by enemies of Congelcam who want to see it collapse, failing to tarnish its image by passing unfounded information, fake news intended to damage the image of Congelcam, which has been present in the import sector for three decades”. As a reminder, Congelcam claims to have suffered a loss of approximately 15 billion CFA francs since fraudulent maneuvers are used to make the public believe that this corporate citizen imports products unfit for consumption.
